PHE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON. GENERALS’ TEAM (;REAT SAYS OLD LINERS SCOUT Will Be Best Eleven College Parhers Have Met Tlus] Year, He States—Marines and Catholic U. hould Offer Fine Contest. BY H. C.

Ol who watched the General of Kentucky, 23 to o cording ks cont University ipley's opinion that the ex Ment showing made r by the fexington eleven is bascd on the fact that they have about the strongest and most versatile eleven that has ever represented them, and that the team is fully two touchdowns hetter than any combination that Maryland met e as 1 could sce Saturday.” Washington and Lee a zood foot ball team needs.

He is the same Spotts who has been starrin at center in basket ball “Lott, Washington back, did not play but he probably will be in the line-up Saturday. Last season he broke a bone in his ankie and this vear the in jury seems still to he bothering him However, 1 have not watched a mor versatile backfield nor a better look team. 1f there is anvthing the Vrauhmg'nn and Lee eleven cannot de then it was not evident against Ken tucky. It gained ground by running and when it could not gain by running it gained by forward passing and any time the team was stumped its punting was brilliant. “\We are in for a merry time Sat upday afternoon. and that is not « for the benefit of our squad, either. The last two vears Washington and Lee has won from Maryiand in what Lee's hest and mes of foot ball. | nder in the clos- ifig minutes mave hington and Lee a victory by nd last Fall the Generals took a 3 to 0 contest. Right now the teams seem capable of pbtting up another great battle, 1 n- Jess, on account of the difficult sched ule each is playing, one of them Threaks unexpectediy. Maryland has a hard team to beat and for years has had a rather happy facility of plaving its best foot ball against the strongest teams. Against ‘Washington and Lee Saturday it will be against a team that, accurding to Shipley, has been playing better foot BAll. Maryland will have to put forth greater efforts Saturday if it is to heat Fashington and Lec than it has in any of its previous contest “Considering the kind of rchedule it Bas played Maryland is in fairly good shape, though two of its players ure on the shelf. Snyder, halfback, nho did not get in (he game with Virginia Military Institute Saturday, shculd be dy, though it is doubtful about essler, who injured his ankle late in e first quarter at Richmoni.

Marines ha a powerful and versatile outfit Catholic University, notwithstanding §ts defeat last week by Holy Cross, is strong enough to give any eleven some worrisome moments. 1In.faet. the Brooklanders are confident they will beat Marines, so strong do they think their team lis.

How It Is Worked. ? Roughly described, the famous off tackle qrive as used by Dobie operates as_follows: The No. 1 and No. 3 backs, who | have lined up in tandem bebind the paired offensive tackles, crack the defensive end as he comes in. The ontlying wing and the end tike the defengin ckle. ‘The guard on the strong side lenves his position and heads the interference off-tackle. The paired offensive tackles tike cave of the defensive guard and the center The No. 4 back, playing te the left | of the backfield formation, takes the ball and follows the interfering guard It co-operation of ling and b: eld has not reached perfection oy the hall carviers are mediocre, the defending center can get through, while a pair | of expert rampaging defensive tackles will play hob with the Dobie thrust. | Possibly Gloomy Gil felt he did BY LAWR LINE STILL WORRY OF NAVY'S COACHES ANNAPOLIS, October ~The pre- season belief that the Naval Academy foot ball team would be much strong- er in the backfield than in the line this season has heen fully sustained. There are several fine running hacks on the Navy squad and a num- | ber of versatile players, It is prob- able that no team has a set of hacks and ends so well drilled in a hrilliant and versatile passing system ax has the Navy. On the other hand, the line has not shown itself very proficient in_either the defense or in opening holes for the hacks, though it is improving. The material is good and the play of a fine spirit, but lack of experience is the weakness. After experimenting on the line and using nearly every eandidate at times. the coaches seem to he falrly well settled as to the first pick for four positions. Sloane and Moret stand out for the end positions, Burke for right guard and Giese for right tackle. It also appears as if Hardin has shaken off the opposition of Hughes, Wood and Haley for the center posi- tion. For left guard, Woerner seems to be in the lead, and Wilson for the other tackle. The starting backfield against Penn- sylvania will be made up of Capt. Hannegan or Whelchel at quarter. Llovd and Bauer at the halves and CIifton at fullback. This is a_heavy and powerful backfield, as well as a fast and versatile one. sue m anybody, s8 as any | The and A nifty ives the v As he spins he 3 the ball in his | hehind him to | ier receives it qu ‘ terback s spins. ¥, to the surreptitiou it hand, | the lefi, where the « It is a new variation of the Statue n(‘ Liberty trick and has heen working out well | Another Innovation comes from Vir- nia.
